On the Easel Update

We are now at around 80%. Pretty happy with how the detail levels are building. Still plenty to do.....

On the easel

This is what's currently sitting on my easel. Its the start of a painting i'm doing for my Grandpa for christmas. I know it looks pretty messy at the moment, but it's about 30% done. I am posting it now to keep my self motivated to get it finished ! He was a 48 Royal Marine Commando in WW2, a printer after the war, and an absolutley top bloke all of his life. I couldn't be a prouder grandson. He was also a fantastic painter, and the reason I got into painting in the first place. This year he turned 85, and I wanted to give him something special. I hope I manage to get this finished before xmas, and that he likes it !

I'll post the complete painting when it's finished....

This week, IQ asked myself and fellow caricaturist Jo, to answer a series of light hearted questions, and complete a self caricature. 5 all was all we could muster... it was a tight battle, but all in good spirits.

Next week I have a How 2 article going in to the mag, and will post when I can.
